Orion constellation
Photo description / processing
In a couple of months, the Orion constellation will no longer be visible, and I thought with Sergey, why not stack all the frames I've taken over 4 months? The result turned out quite good—a bright Milky Way with nearby nebulae, all captured on a simple Samsung from 2019!
Processed on the phone, and even with 6 bottles! (urban sky) without any UHC filters, etc.

Since I didn't use biases in the first two sessions, they made their malignant contribution which I couldn't remove in any way
Heavily cropped because there was strong comatic aberration at the edges and various artifacts due to different angles during different observations
